Coffee houses and inns as places of social interaction had, and still have an important roll in the everyday life of a social community, although their role was marginalised by historians. Pula, on the threshold of XIX and XX century was a home to numerous sailors, soldiers and workers, and as such has lived its everyday life through its numerous inns, and coffee houses, placed in the narrow streets and squares, especially on and around the main town square Forum. Certain places as Marinekasino or Miramare cofee house were pinnacles of the urban culture. Life of coffee houses and inn's in Pula was constituted of many aspects, among which were, as first alcohol and coffee. Nowhere in the world was the fact that you're drinking beer or vine as important as it was in Pula. Choice of favoured beverage brought with it affiliation to the Mediterranean or to Mitteleuropa. Everyday life is also constituted of daily newspapers, and personnel, whose interesting story was often untold and forgotten. There were also musicians and entertainers, who had brought life to the establishments with their performances. Unfortunately, violence as the dark side of enjoying alcohol, ended up sometimes with the most tragic outcome, someone's death. Particularity of inns in Pula were prostitutes who sometimes brought their business inside the inns, while in the town's hotels they were part of everyday business. Inns and coffee houses were for citizens of Pula from that period, when the privacy was a rare commodity and living conditions were more than modest, living room, study and a place for entertainment.
